Abstract
Purpose: To assess the symptoms of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome in Moroccan children. Methods: Clinical data were acquired from the medical records of three children with VKH disease at the Marrakech University Children's Hospital. Results: Three cases fulfilled the VKH diagnostic criteria. The patients, ranging in age from 4 to 12 years, all had chronic illness. Uveitis was the most common ocular finding. Glaucoma, cataract, posterior synechiae, and subretinal neovascularization were complications for the patients. Conclusion: Depending on the long- term consequences, visual results were positive in all of the patients. VKH is uncommon in children, but it can be sight- threatening and requires close monitoring, making it an essential differential diagnosis.
